Any thoughts or predictions are welcomed. I've always thought that a team needs at least one good scare in their playoff run. Cheraw certainly provided that for Abbeville. I think being battle tested like that will only benefit the Panthers come Friday night. A-Town will be focused and ready in their quest for a third consecutive state championship. Sorry, Saluda, but you will be disappointed leaving Hite Stadium once again!

I'm with ya on that TD! I hope we get our starting QB back...if not....the kid did a good job last friday.....got experience against a very good defense. This past friday, I believe we could have had some success just spreading 4 wide, and, putting #8 in the wildcat and just let him go with it. Just my opinion. We struggled mightily with what we were trying to do except for 2 long runs. That said, I don't expect Saluda to have the same athletes on D that Cheraw had, but, I do expect their offense to be better than Cheraw.

3 keys for ABBEVILLE to win.put pressure on BELL the SALUDA qbput more pressure on BELLoh yea did i say put pressure on BELL.

3 keys for SALUDA to win.defense,defense,defense.LEE had some speedy running backsbut not as fast as the PANTHERS.SALUDA managed to out score LEE.it was an exciting game.the TIGERS will have to play mistakefree and give BELL time to throw tohang with the PANTHERS.who knowsthe 3rd time might be the charm.GO GET’EM TIGERS!

If you don't think Saluda has athletes on defense comparable to Cheraw, you are sadly mistaken my friend. Y'all must have forgotten the battle last year where we had a couple of chances to win at the end but lost 21-16. This is going to be another hard hitting ball game! We have had Abbeville circled the last 2 years and we are getting it this year. 3rd time is the charm.

Also think it is a crap that Abbeville is hosting this game for the 3rd year in a row. 2015 is understandable because they won our Region that year. But having it in there 2016 and 17 is BS. Shame on the High School League for that. Tigers got a lot of motivation rolling into town Friday night.
